`If social forums are any indication, some of the most vocal Christians appear also to be the cruelest. Scary stuff.
I'd suggest you inquire for yourself by checking out local churches' websites and Facebook pages. Many websites have audio of their latest sermons which allows for unfiltered knowledge of their stances on the social issues of today. With younger folks, non-denominational Christian churches have become quite popular. One sermon series I enjoyed was Life in the Gray Van, where the church's assistant minister described his encounters as an Uber driver. ( SERMONS – WCC )
At my age the more traditional churches appeal to me. I follow a few sermons of various churches from these three denominations.
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
Because God gives us our unity in Christ, we are able to see and respect the diversity within Christ’s body. We receive it as a gift and embrace it, rather than treating it as a threat or a problem to be solved (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). We respect and honor the diversity of histories, traditions, cultures, languages and experiences among us in the ELCA and in the larger Christian community of faith. We seek full participation of all in the life and work of this church and will strenuously avoid the culture of any one group becoming the 4 norm for all in the ELCA. And we strive to address the ways that racism, sexism, classism and other forms of injustice limit participation and harm people, communities and the whole body of Christ. In all these relationships the ELCA serves reconciliation and healing with other Christians, while repentantly acknowledging its failings and wrongs, trusting in God’s forgiving mercy.
About
United Church of Christ
We believe the UCC is called to be a united and uniting church. "That they may all be one." (John 17:21) "In essentials–unity, in nonessentials–diversity, in all things–charity," These UCC mottos survive because they touch core values deep within us. The UCC has no rigid formulation of doctrine or attachment to creeds or structures. Its overarching creed is love. UCC pastors and teachers are known for their commitment to excellence in theological preparation, interpretation of the scripture and justice advocacy. Even so, love and unity in the midst of our diversity are our greatest assets.
What We Believe
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
